SarahKat | 5918 comments SCATTERGORIES
30k Party: April 1 - May 31


In honor of hitting 30,000 members, play a round or two (or thirty) of Scattergories! One set of 10 categories is available now, another set of 10 will be “unlocked� for next month!

Scattergories involves filling out a category list with answers that all begin with the same letter. Answers must fit the category and begin with the same letter! For our version of the game, use the first letter of the title of the book you are currently reading. Come back and retry it each time you start a new book if you want!

This isn't a reading challenge, just a fun little game! If you want to use it as a reading challenge though you are welcome to!

Debra Diggs | 480 comments Question.
If I read Tom Lake, then can I use Thousand Autumns: Qian Qiu (Novel) Vol. 1 for my villain book? Because there is a villain in the book. Or does the villain's name have to be in the title? And does the villains name have to start with the letter t.


message 8: by SarahKat, Buddy Reads (new)

SarahKat | 5918 comments This is just a little game with answers that match the first letter of the title of your book. It's not a reading challenge, so if you want to use it as that you can make up your own rules!

I'll add an example in the first post.

Sorry DL, I misread your comment but you don't need to read books for this challenge, just make up answers based on the title of your current read. I added more info to the first post to make it clearer.


message 10: by Debra Diggs (new)

Debra Diggs | 480 comments Thanks, SarahKat. I think I understand it now. Your example helps a lot. I am still thinking about it.
